<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2165835, member: 19463&quot;]I was like Martin in the mid 1990&#039;s.&nbsp; I bought a lot of Septimius Severus, a few Probus and almost nothing after 300AD.&nbsp; I started working with Victor Failmezger and learned enough that when I photographed his coins for his book we included nearly 100 of mine in the plates.&nbsp; LRB&#039;s can be addictive.&nbsp; I now have more LRB&#039;s than Severans.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I might point out that none of these three are &#039;ordinary&#039; types.&nbsp; Each has some little thing that adds a bit of interest.&nbsp; If we did a countdown of the 100 most interesting LRB types, the Constans and Gratian would be on my list. (Sorry, Valens, there are just so many neat LRB&#039;s.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There is nothing wrong with us buying common type LRB&#039;s also although I do have trouble sometimes with the number of beginners who buy horrid condition common coins at high prices when there are some nice ones out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
